2024 JEEP WRANGLER REVIEW | COMPETITION IS MAKING EVERYTHING BETTER

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Jeep Wrangler receives a significant refresh, largely driven by competition from vehicles like the Ford Bronco. Key updates include the availability of power seats, side curtain airbags, and full-float axles, addressing long-standing omissions. The popular 4xe plug-in hybrid variant gains a 3.6 kW AC breakout box for external power, enhancing its utility for overlanding. Towing capacity is increased to 5,000 pounds on most models, though the 4xe and 392 V8 are exceptions. The reviewer highlights the improved interior comfort and the continued availability of the V8 392 engine. While the on-road driving dynamics remain largely unchanged, the Wrangler's solid front axle is noted as a preference for hardcore off-roading compared to the Bronco's independent front suspension. The 4xe's instant torque is beneficial off-road but can feel jumpy. Pricing starts at $31,895 for the Sport trim, with the 4xe beginning at $49,995 and the Rubicon 392 reaching $87,595.
